What Makes This Event Different?

MINIMAL TRAVEL EXPENSE

There is very little gas and possibly no lodging expense. That’s hundreds in savings! A live gathering is scheduled to happen in your region of Georgia so you can still be at home with your family or church. 

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE

Sometimes you can't make the live event scheduled in your region. For many, driving to the next nearest event still isn't that far, but it might fit your schedule better.
You have options!

EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT

It doesn’t matter at what stage you are in ministry, there is something for everyone at SPARK. This conference is designed with YOU in mind, no matter your experience or skill level!
